Four 49ers – linebacker Eli Harold (foot), safeties Jaquiski Tartt (neck) and Jimmie Ward and tight tight end George Kittle (hip) – are listed as questionable for Thursday night’s game against the Rams.

Harold didn’t show up on the injury report until after the team’s walk through on Wednesday. If he can’t play, Dekoda Watson will likely get his reps at strong side linebacker in base packages. Rookie sixth-round pick Pita Taumoepenu could also be made active for the first time.

Ward and Tartt appear in line to play after practicing Tuesday following Sunday’s game in Seattle in which Ward made his debut at free safety. He missed training camp and the entire preseason recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in late July. Tartt would shift to strong safety in Reid’s place, as he did when Reid left with a PCL injury.

Kittle has been a regular on the injury report while dealing with hamstring and calf injuries in recent weeks. But he still played in the first two games, logging seven catches for 40 yards combined. This week marked the first time the rookie tight end has been listed with a hip injury.
